What happens during my first appointment?
Before your first session, we'll discuss your health history, goals and any potential contraindications.
We'll explain how HBOT works, show you how to equalise your ears and make sure you're comfortable before entering the chamber.
Once you're settled, your technician will remain nearby and monitor you throughout your session.
-
Is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy safe?
HBOT is generally well tolerated when appropriate screening and safety procedures are followed.
Before treatment, we screen all clients for potential contraindications. Your session is also monitored by a trained Hyperbaric Technician.
The most common issue is temporary pressure or discomfort in the ears, similar to what you may experience when flying.
-
Can everyone use Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy?
HBOT isn't suitable for everyone.
Treatment should be avoided with an untreated pneumothorax and may need to be postponed if you have a cold, flu, blocked ears or an acute sinus or respiratory infection.
Please let us know before booking if you are pregnant or have significant lung disease, uncontrolled diabetes, a pacemaker or implanted medical device, or have recently had ear or sinus surgery.
If you're unsure whether HBOT is appropriate for you, please contact us before booking.
-
How long does the appointment take?
We offer 60 and 90-minute HBOT sessions.
Please allow approximately 10 minutes either side of your appointment for preparation and getting settled.
We recommend allowing a little extra time for your first appointment.
-
Why Hyper O2?
Hyper O2 is a boutique clinic specialising in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, with locations in Kardinya and Mandurah.
Our focus is on providing a safe, comfortable and personalised experience, with every session closely monitored by a trained Hyperbaric Technician.
Our team has completed specialist Hyperbaric Safety & Operations training through the International Hyperbarics Association.
-
What does pressurisation feel like?
As the chamber pressurises, you'll notice pressure in your ears, similar to taking off or landing in an aeroplane.
We'll teach you several simple ways to equalise your ears before starting.
If you're having difficulty, we can slow or pause the pressurisation process until you're comfortable.
-
What should I wear?
Wear something comfortable and relaxed, as you'll be reclining during your session.
We'll also let you know which items and products cannot be taken into the chamber for safety reasons.
-
What can I do in the Hyperbaric Chamber
It's a great opportunity to switch off!
You can read a book, meditate, relax or even have a nap during your session.
For safety reasons, electronic devices aren't permitted inside the chamber.
-
Will I be able to communicate with the technician?
Yes. Your technician remains nearby and monitors you throughout your entire session.
You can communicate with us at any time, and if you're uncomfortable or need assistance, we can adjust or stop the session.
-
How many sessions do I need?
This varies depending on why you're using HBOT, your individual circumstances and how you respond to treatment.
Some people use HBOT for a short period, while others undertake a more regular course of sessions.
We can discuss your goals and help you decide on an appropriate starting point.
-
Can I come in with a friend or family member?
Absolutely.
Where chamber availability allows, you can coordinate your appointment with a friend or family member so you can both have your sessions at the same time.
Please contact us if you'd like us to arrange this for you.
-
Can I exercise before or after HBOT?
Yes. You can eat normally before your session.
We generally recommend having a normal meal or snack beforehand rather than arriving hungry.
If you have diabetes or take medication that affects your blood glucose, please let us know before your appointment.
